A home health provider, orthopedic surgeons, and a radiology group are
slated for a new medical office condo building in Carroll County.
HomeCall Inc.
will open a 3,513-square-foot office in the building at 844 Washington
Rd. The company is relocating from 15 E. Main St. during the first
quarter of next year.
The newly constructed 50,000-square-foot
building by Green Development LLC will house Greater Chesapeake
Orthopaedic Associates LLC, says Michele Kornbluth, a commercial real
estate broker with NAI KLNB LLC. At 16,000 square feet, it's the
building's largest tenant and will open after Jan. 1.
A physical therapy group affiliated with
Greater Chesapeake Orthopaedic Associates will
open a 6,000-square-foot office as well, Kornbluth says. Allergist Dr.
Prasad Nataraj will also take a 2,500-square-foot space at the site
during the first quarter of next year.
The broker is also
talking to a radiology group and a lab. That leaves about 4,000 square
feet remaining to fill, Kornbluth says.
While getting financing is tough for many businesses these days, it's a bit easier for doctors, Kornbluth says. That's because they typically have steady cash flow and sign up for long-term leases.
Less
than a mile from Carroll County Hospital, the building is located in a
growing area. The county has gained about 25,000 new residents in the
last decade, according to county information.
The residential
growth, combined with great highway access, has driven the demand for
more services in the county, Kornbluth says.
